The next five yrs proceeding i sunk into a dark hole of nothingness.

Here's my question - the carpet damage from the child using the floor as a coloring book is obviously the tenants expense.

Tenant: "Beginning 5 days after the water damage, my kid started coughing and my husband started getting unexplained itchy spots on his skin.  

@Reece O'Bryan  Almost any lender will require some of your own cash into the deal (skin the game).- Tom

* Some mold on wood (dark staining) in attic, inspector thought it was due to the crawl space having moisture in it before,  crawl space was recently totally redone and looks very good now.

I have 5% to put down for the property to also have some skin in the game.

Trying to decide if we should do the same siding for each one or doing a different color to make them look more custom.

Right now im kinda back and forth between "Yellow Letters" and "Postcards", I can print the Yellow letters from home since i can get the owners info pretty easily from the MLS services, but i have been offered privately pricing of 2.7cents per postcard full color front/back as long as i order 5,000+

All your renovations and furnishings should fall into the category of sturdy and good quality, with a color or finish that wont show dirt or wear and tear.

I've been advocating for a happy middle ground: For purchase deals only, cover the cost of the appraisal up-front if a consumer can prove that they have at least ~$350 'skin in the game' in the form of home inspections or similar (paid for by them, not their agent, or the seller).
